So you're saying you can be talked out of your sexual orientation? Homosexuality is a chosen behavior, as is heterosexuality. Some people can be convinced to change their behavior, some can't. Some people can be convinced to smoke crack, some can't. I can't be talked into smoking crack... that doesn't make it any less a choice on my part.

contrast with heterosexuals who are in long term prisons. Inside prison these people do things they will NEVEr do outside of prison. They are not stigmatized as homosexual.
Somthing homosexuals are rushing to do to children. Stigmatize them as homosexual, force the choice when young; THEN when the choice is made lock them in the "lifestyle" with a mythical claim of genetic cause or mythical immutability. It is ALL about recruiting.
Evil must be fought, in all forms and places.

Homosexuality is a chosen behavior, as is heterosexuality. Actually performing homosexual acts is a chosen behavior. I think the underlying urge homosexuality is probably a lot more complicated than a conscious decision.
There are apparently a lot of "growing up" type psychological similarities among gay men, though. They had bad relationships with their fathers. Many of them were sexually abused. But I think there's also something innate about it.
Of course, "innate-ness" shouldn't be determinative: men who molest little girls apparently also have an innate desire to do so, and we'll hopefully never condone that.
